525 line igital progressive-scan
component vi eo output
Compared to standard interlaced video,
progressive scan effectively doubles the
amount of video information fed to your TV or
monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free
image. (Check your TV/monitor for compat-
ibility with this feature.
For the very highest picture quality, try
watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progres-
sive-scan compatible TV.
What is Super VCD?
Logos:
This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD
standard. Compared to the Video CD
standard, Super VCD offers superior
picture quality, and allows two stereo
soundtracks to be recorded. Super VCD
also supports the widescreen size.

This technology can remember which
setting you've chosen and employ it at the
proper time.
(see page 45 .
Legato PRO (Legato Link
Conversion PRO)
The Legato PRO digital filter restores some of
the high-frequency information lost in the CD
and DVD recording and mastering process by
upsampling from 44.1kHz to 176.4kHz for CD
and from 48kHz to 192kHz for DVD.
Legato PRO has four settings, including
Standard and three effect settings. You can
also switch it off. (see page 41 .
Hi-Bit
Hi-Bit extends the dynamic range of the main
front speakers by effectively increasing the bit
depth from 16-20 bit to 24 bit. This allows
the player to reveal greater detail in low level
audio (see page 41 .
High quality 24-bit/192kHz DAC
The high specification 24-bit/192kHz DAC
delivers dynamic, smooth and expansive
analog sound from CDs and DVDs.

All DVD Video discs carry a region mark
on the case somewhere that indicates
which region(s of the world the disc is
compatible with. Your DVD player also has
a region mark, which you can find on the
rear panel. Discs from incompatible
regions will not play in this player. Discs
marked ALL will play in any player.

Connecting coaxial cables
Use an interconnect with a pin-type (also
called RCA or phono
plug on each end to
connect up digital
coaxial-type jacks.
Make sure that the
plug is pushed fully
home.
Note
If you listen to multichannel DVD-Audio
through one of the digital outputs, it will be
downmixed to stereo. Also, high sampling rate
DVD-Audio (192kHz or 176.4kHz will be
downsampled to 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz or
44.1kHz, depending on the disc. Multi channel
and high sampling rate DVD-Audio is only
available through the analog outputs.
Depending on the disc, some DVD-Audio is
not output at all though the digital outputs.
If your amplifier has stereo inputs
only, connect them here.
Connect to the coaxial or optical input of your
amplifier, if it has digital inputs.
Plug into a standard AC wall outlet.
If your amplifier has 5.1 channel analog inputs,
connect them here.
Connect to the FRONT L (left)/R (right),
SURRUND L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER inputs
of your amplifier.
Home theater au io connections
This player outputs multi-channel audio in
both analog and digital form. Check the
manual for your amplifier/receiver to see what
equipment it is compatible with (especially
which digital formats—Dolby Digital, DTS,
etc.—it can decode .
Connecting analog au io cables
Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best
connection. The plugs and jacks are colour-
coded to make connection easier.
Connecting optical cables
Optical interconnects
only plug in one way, so
make sure the plug is
correctly lined up with
the jack before insert-
ing. When inserting the
plug, the protective
shutter will open and you should hear it click
into position when fully inserted.
Be careful
that you do not force the plug, because
this could result in damage to the
protective shutter, the cable, or the unit
itself.
Important
Before making or changing any rear panel connec-
tions, make sure that all components are switched
off and unplugged from the wall outlet.

Setting the TV System
(except for Taiwanese mo el)
The default setting of this player is AUTO,
and unless you notice that the picture is
distorted when playing some discs, you
should leave it set to AUTO.
If you experience picture distortion with
some discs, set the TV system to match
your country or region’s system. Doing
this, however, may restrict the kinds of
disc you can watch. The table below shows
what kinds of disc are compatible with
each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC .
About MOD. (Mo ulation) PAL
• SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown
PAL T system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical
amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical
shrinkage.
• If your PAL T does not have a -Hold control,
you may not be able to view NTSC disc because
the picture may roll. If the T has a -Hold
control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling.
On some T s, the picture may shrink vertically,
leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the
screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by
the NTSC]PAL conversion.
1 Switch the player into stan by.
2 Hol own ¡¢ then press STANDBY/
ON to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
